| I have had previous issues with the panoramic sunroof, i had to get it replaced. then i had issues with the chain and chain tensioner and had to get that replaced too. now the steerinig has failed on me, i can't start the car or even move the steering wheel. my steering is locked now; i had the car running, everything seemed to run fine and the steering worked fine. once i shut the car off i couldnt start the car back up and my steering locked up. i had to get my car towed home. i wish bmw would do some kind of a recall on this car so we wouldn't have to pay so much money out of our own pockets! | |||

| My mint condition 2007 mini cooper s was destroyed by fire on 3/31/11. i had just driven it 4.5 miles to work, parked it, when approximately 12-15 minutes later i was alerted by the company security department that my car was on fire. the township police and fire department were already on the scene putting out the blaze. the cause of the fire appears to be electrical and started in the engine. my pristine car without a scratch or dent on it, had only been driven 15,000 miles -- and it was destroyed. the car had been faithfully maintained and i believed it to be in perfect running condition. fortunately no one was hurt and no other cars were damaged. but what if this would have happened when the car was parked in my garage? i was shocked to read online that other owners have shared similar experiences and that you can find numerous video clips on you-tube showing mini | |||
